Had fish off an on all my life. Took a 25 year break do to kids that killed them. Back into now that they are grown and (very slowly) moving out. Currently have 6 (accidental) goldfish, 2 guppies (only because they get away from the goldfish- they were feeders), 1 pleco. Have been doing animal rescue all my life and owned various pets all my life. Prefer dogs, rats, (rodents in general) and fish to other species but won't turn away any animal that needs care & a home. (except spiders- nope. nope. nope.) Other hobbies include gardening, painting mini-figs, playing Farmville TE (guilty pleasure). We own several businesses and are starting to sell online.
